Stoke v Villa post-match thread

Sky highlights

[CT Villan]

The only players we have at the club definitely and consistently at the standard we should be aiming for are Tuanzebe, Mings, McGinn, Grealish, Tammy and Chester (when fully fit). Only two of them were on the pitch today. It's no surprise we aren't very good.

I hope we can keep Mings for next season, I really like him. The kind of standard we should be going for.

I would add Elphick to that list, I think he has done well since his return.

WRT the match, the first half was Bruceball and the second a watered-down version of Smithball. I know which I prefer, just wish it was full-strength.

Some run from El Ghazi for the goal and pass - why do we not see more of this from him?

He was at fault for the Brentford winner, ,didn't get close enough to his man for the first WBA goal (the header), and lost his attacker for the Stoke goal today.

Two shit teams coast it out for the draw... playing mostly tepid, lacklustre, uninspiring football for 94 minutes is a pretty accurate assessment of that dross.



^ This is pathetic.

I think if the players had a fraction of the passion we have for the club, we would be in the auto promotion places.

Passion doesn’t win you football matches but it helps a little bit. You win consistently by having better players and superior tactics than your competitors. We are just not any good at the moment.

Absolute toilet again today. He clearly isn’t learning from previous games and makes the same mistakes again and again.

More police than a royal wedding. And no beer at half time. Poor.

After another fairly abject half it was a lot better in the second half, but nothing to go too overboard about given the nature of the opposition.

We actually looked better when not trying to play the ball out from the back. I'd give the two up front another go at least.

Unfortunately we are developing somewhat of a habit of playing against teams on poor runs or with bad injuries and failing to win.

What do you base   that analysis on. We dominated the second half . You obviously didn't watch the game did you?

You must be disappointed that your team couldn't hold on.

[Meanwood Villa]

I thought we were the better team but can't really recall a chance after the Abraham header straight after we scored. Pleased not to lose but they were crap and we should have had enough to beat them.
